The advantages of a strengthened forensic crime fighting capacity in respect of fingerprints, body-prints, and photographic images can be summarised as follows: The expansion of the fingerprints capacity, which this Bill does, can lead to significant increases in matching suspects to crime scenes; an increase in plea bargaining as suspects are confronted with real evidence, such as fingerprints, linking them to a crime scene is also possible; and it should also be noted that fingerprints are used not only to prove guilt but also to prove innocence.
